ABOUT GEOweb

Welcome

Welcome to GEOweb, the District of North Vancouver’s GIS website.

This website was made specifically for the public to provide access to mapping, land, environmental, zoning, building and other
valuable information that is stored in the District’s geographic information system, or GIS.

Our mission is to provide as much information where possible to our community through an intuitive interface meant to empower, educate, and inform our users.

This website and its applications were designed and developed internally by the GIS and IT Departments at the District of North Vancouver, B.C. We’ve incorporated the latest
in GIS and web technologies and made every attempt to improve the way our citizens access information. We will endeavour to improve and enhance the applications, tools,
and information available on GEOweb.

Technology

The District of North Vancouver’s geographic information system (GIS) is primarily built using the latest version of Esri’s
ArcGIS software. The system is highly centralized and resides on six servers.

GEOweb was built using a variety of evolving technologies, including a combination of HTML, Flash, and Javascript, plus frameworks such as
Bootstrap, AngularJS, and Leaflet. The mapping applications were originally developed using Esri's Flex API, however we're in the process
of moving them to HTML5 to provide an improved user experience and device independence.

Information is maintained as required and all products are refreshed each week using automated routines.

Version 1.0 of GEOweb was originally launched in June 2001; Version 2.0 in December 2009. This, version 3.0, was launched in July 2014 and marks
the beginning of our transition to device independent, standards-based online services.

History

Date Posted to GIS:

2009

2009:
Efforts were made to collect historical mapping information on the District of North Vancouver over the past 120 years. Hardcopy maps of historical value located at the North Shore Museum and Archives were scanned. This raster information was then georeferenced into the GIS and the land use features were digitized, entered, and categorized in the GIS. Estimations were made where factual evidence was missing.

Quality

Accuracy

Land use can be an estimation in some areas and factual in other. Boundaries are generalized.

Spatial information is collected using generalized techniques.

Spatial information is generalized and true locations are unknown.

Completeness

Some spatial information may be missing.

Complete as per historical records/maps.

Maintenance

This information is static. No maintenance is performed on this feature class.
